This is important as KD is 5% or lower, typically no more than 20g carbs.

That's an extremely low figure for induction. As people go on keto long term they do not keep it at 20 grams. It's not possible to even get the dietary fiber you need like that...

Regardless of weight loss, restriction and modulation of dietary carbohydrate (e.g., restriction of simple carbohydrate and high glycemic carbohydrate) and fat (e.g., restriction of total and saturated fat and increase in MUFAs and n-3 PUFAs) seem to improve metabolic parameters such as IR, decrease the liver enzymes levels and/or reduce the grade of steatosis in NAFLD patients. Contrary, weight loss, independently of restriction of carbohydrate or fat improves the liver parameters. Therefore, in some studies, the effects of the restriction of one macronutrient per se could have been confused with the effects of a restriction of energy from the diet. Finally, data demonstrating improvement in liver histology associated with different dietary approaches are scarce. In this context, long-term studies are needed to elucidate the detailed dietary approach of NAFLD, before getting to clinical practice.

Basically losing weight improves fatty liver. Most people on keto experience more rapid weight loss initially. Most also go back to gain more than they lost as they get off of ketogenic diet or stop paying attention to macros.
